The relationship between the decay constant (λ) and the half-life (t1⁄2) is given by the equation t(1/2) = 0.693/λ. Use the equa

tion for N to derive this relationship.
Hint: when t = t(1/2), N/No = 0.5 (1 point)

A bus hits a bug and the bug splatters on the windshield, which force is greater?
grandymaker [24]

The forces acting on a body and the type of motion that results are given by Newton's three Laws of motion

  • The <u>force </u>of the bus is <u>the same</u> as reactive force of the bug

Reason:

According to Newton's third Law of motion, given that the bug collides

with the bus, the force with which the bus hits the bug is equal to the

reactive force of the bug on the on the bus

According to Newton's second Law of motion, force is equal to the rate of

change of the momentum produced

The impulse of the force of the bus on the bug is given as follows;

F·Δt = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Given that the force of the bus is large, the change in momentum, m·(v₂ - v₁),

is also large such that the parts of the bug are split by the rapid change in

velocity, and the bug splatters on the windshield, and is then carried along

on the trip,

The equally large reactive force of the bug, is such that the bug splatters

due its magnitude

Therefore, the correct response is that <u>the forces are the same</u>

If two objects move farther apart from one another, the force of gravity will
jonny [76]
Gravity is universal. This force of gravitational attraction is directly dependent upon the masses of both objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates their centers. This means that as you move away from an object the gravitational force decreases.
